I haven't looked at your (robert's) code yet, but I plan to make a slight modification to exit.lua. Its current behavior, if you uncheck "backup" and then select "reboot" (or "shutdown" if reboot is already selected), is to automatically re-check "backup". This doesn't seem like a logical behavior, and I assume it will be a minor thing to change.

I did that by design. Intended to be pesky. Don't want no oops; lost data as no backup.

Regardless of whether or not you want to encourage the backup, there were two things about the script that I didn't think are necessary. The first (w:callback) I'm not sure about, but the second (backupBtn:callback) I'm pretty sure is a kluge for a bug created by the use of backupBtn:type(). "type" when applied to buttons implies button type, but the type you supplied was a box type. I can't see why this would cause the check button to consistently be "on", but removing the type line stopped it.

I agree about the NAG screen to backup, I knew there was a three-finger salute or two to cure that. But I prefer how Puppy gives you three choices instead.

I came across some old laptops so I'm trying DSL 4.5 on them. Tonight it was the WinBook XL2 with a P2 in it and about 200 MB of RAM. It had no problems so far and I first tried my Dlink NIC PC Card, then I tried the Belkin USB to NIC in the 2-port USB PC Card as I'm typing on it.

DSL saw the sound card, but I didn't hear anything. I'm just happy the old ATI video onboard is supported and that it didn't stall out on the PC Card testing.

If I buy one of your fine books will I be entitled to the corrected info for the newer version 4 or 5 of DSL?

Neverless, I have script updated many extensions to add a resized 32x32 .xpm icon. The original 48x48 icon in .xtdesktop remains for continued compatibiliy with DSL 3.x and prior versions.

Now when 4.0 is loading an extension, either at boot up or dynamically a check is made to see if an xpm icon is in /tmp/mydsl.icons and if so the application specific one is used otherwise the fallback generic "open box" icon will be used.

So let me get this straight, future extension makers catering forboth 4.x and pre-4.x will put a 48x48 icon in .xtdesktop as usual, and add a 32x32 icon in /tmp/mydsl.icons/ ?
